…..

Leylin looked at the creature, awed by its tenacity and vitality. The Golden Giant belonged to a elemental species. Its whole body is made up of various type of elements and minerals. There is not even a drip of blood in it, naturally there will be no bloodline.

Leylin wants to research its anatomy to properly understand the implications of such a physique.

“Haiii” Leylin loudly exclaimed and gathered all the power in his arms and swung the Sword toward it’s gut, effectively piercing it.

The Golden Giant howled, it’s body started to crumble and turn into ether.

” Well I cannot allow this now, can I? “Leylin let go of his sword which changed shape and turned into its original pendant form.

Leylin took out a small container from his pocket and started to seal the Golden giant inside it. Leylin wants to research its body that is why he bothered to weaken it and used an expensive sealing Magical Formation to bind it.

“But this seal will only slow the progress of its demise ” Leylin is quite aware that this is not a effective way. To seal the beast he had to mortally injure it and now it’s dying, the seal only slowed down the progress.

” Well this is why I have them ” Leylin gazed coldly at his former travel companion.

The reason why he attacked them just before intercepting Golden Giant was because he wanted fresh experimental specimen to attest his theory of Elemental Conversion.

Slowly Leylin stared to walk their way, the effects from the Rampage mode is gone and a weakness enveloped him, but he didn’t really care.

Leylin doesn’t underestimate others but against these beaten up Magi, he felt no threat. Although his Spiritual force is low now, but it will take only one Eyes of Petrification spell to kill them all. He has more than enough to kill them twice over and he also had his slaves.

” Anna, immediately prepare my lab in the tent and transfer all four of them there ” Leylin stated as walked towards Lancey, He waved his hand and the restrictions on her mouth disappear.

” haahh” Lancey gasped but kept her eyes locked on Leylin. This weak looking individual was a ferocious beast with astounding strength.

“You look weakened ” Lancey stated, while calmly trying to decipher the situation.

Leylin looked at her, Her body was badly burned and she suffered lots of injuries. Just the feat of being alive is amazing, even though Leylin didn’t attack with the attention to kill, the destructiveness of the spell was pretty impressive.

” My weakness will not change your situation, so there is no need to go there. Shouldn’t we talk about something which will effect you, and address the main issue here? ” Leylin calmly stated, although his situation looked to be not so favourable, Lancey could feel that she is no match for him even at her peak, let alone now.

“What do you want from me? What use can I be to someone of you strength and prowess? ” Lancey said with no apparent fear, although Leylin can see that she was nervous. he was very impressed by her calmness.

” You don’t seem to be fearful of your plight ”

” No, you misunderstood. I am fearful and terrified but I also know that it will be of no use pleading to you or cursing my luck. Since you didn’t kill me, there must be a reason, and as long as I can achieve or grant what you desire of me, there is a chance at life”

” Well there is a chance I may kill you even then”

” There is. ” Lancey nodded.

A smile escaped Leylin face and his eyes glowed, He half expected this woman to start stripping and begging for her life. It’s normal human nature to latch onto a chance at survival and do whatever possible to stay alive, but she immediately understood her situation. This is the reason you can never count a Magus down.

“I like smart people, since you can grasp the situation I will tell you what I want ” Leylin extended two of his pale slender fingers ” You have two options : first become my subordinate and bear my imprint into your soul. ”

Lancey eyes widen listening to this, this was practically making her into a slave. She tried to calm down, bowed her head and asked weakly “What the second one? ”

” I will let you go ” Leylin said with a smile, Lancey raised her head and as soon as she looked into his eye, she saw cold indifference.

” Into the afterlife.” Leylin coldly finished his sentence.

” Your time to decide is until I am finished ” Leylin knew that time was slipping by for his elemental experiment. He saw that Anna has prepared the lab. He opened a test tube and poured all of its content into her mouth.

Leylin walked into the tent and as he enter the camp, his voice reverberated in everyone’s ear.

” I have given her a weakening potion, if she does something suspicious, KILL HER! ”

… 2 Days Later…

*Crash!*

The wolf pack ran past, kicking up a dust of sand and stones. The dust glittered a faint glow of gold.

Leylin and the party has resumed travelling immediately after his research was done, he has killed all the 4 captured Magi after they expired their usefulness. At that point he thought they were happy to be relieved of the torture.

Elemental conversion is topic that is researched by all Magus in Rank 1 , It’s a thoroughly studied topic. Leylin just wanted to understand the physical working of an elemental creature.

After one reachs the point of 100% elemental conversion they become one with the element itself, for a Magus it’s hopeless situation of travesty as the future development will be hindered and leashed.

For Leylin though it’s a different situation, he desires to take his Knight path in that direction with the use of ‘ Sentient Force’, Since it’s an all compassing energy that can squeeze out the essence of any energy, the same shall stand for Elemental Energy.

But no matter how feasible a theory is, it needs to be chartered first and their is no way in hell, Leylin’s gonna experiment on himself, hence the much appreciated ‘Participation’ of the 4 individuals.

Leylin turned to his left and saw the new member to his entourage, Lancey. After thoroughly thinking of her choices ‘which were none’ she decided to agree to Leylin’s terms.

While imprinting the ‘seal of Lucifer’ in her soul, Leylin could see that she was someone with a story to tell, before he couldn’t be bothered to ask but, now since she is a subordinate he will not be so cold and indifferent to her life.

But right now these things have to be put on hold, they have to focus on running. While Leylin was almost finished and was going to try torturing their souls to cultivate some vengeful souls. One of the alarms he set was triggered.
